Prequel

The Dames embark on a quest to find and save the missing Lord Eric Merryweather. Information from Lyta Rollings in Halfway leads them to the Crooked Forest where they engage in fiery combat against some blights. The Dames take a rest under the cover of the forest and the watchful eye of their new friend Tinus Redbud. The next morning they find Lord Merryweather near a cave where goblins are rifling through his belongings. The Dames successfully retrieve his pack and they take their leave, returning to Phandalin.

Summary
The Dames take on a quest in Phandalin to find the missing Lord Eric Merryweather. The information they find leads them to the Come Butte Inn, Lyta Rollings's tavern in Halfway. After a short performance, Lyta brings the party to a trap door entrance that goes to the Crooked Forest, where Lord Merryweather was last seen. The Dames follow the forest's path until they come across their first combat encounter of the podcast.

After a long, heated battle, the Dames come out victorious over the blights attacking some nearby trees. They make a new friend, a small sapling named Tinus "Bud" Redbud. Bud offers them a safe place to rest for the night before they head further into the Crooked Forest in their search for Lord Merryweather.

The next morning the Dames head off toward a cave where Lord Merryweather is attempting to keep his distance from a horde of goblins who have his belongings. A pair of goblins dance around a fire at the mouth of the cave chanting "angry eye god". Nevar Moor joins in while Riot Bonezerker retrieves Lord Merryweather's pack. Riot and Rose Lao decide it might just be smart to head back to Phandalin with Lord Merryweather, so the Dames quietly make their exit without further disturbing the goblins.
